The November 22 edition of Panorama had a nice spread on the current "Hansel & Gretel" exhibition @ the Arnold & Marie Schwartz Gallery at The Metropolitan Opera House, which just opened November 16 (and runs through February 2008).
The 40-odd artworks, penned/printed/drawn mostly from The New Yorker magazine artists in celebration of the anticipated opera @ the MET, Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, with a new production by Richard Jones, and featuring the unstoppable power team Christine Schäfer & Alice Coote in the title roles...& Jurowski conducting? *crickets*. La prima is on December 24! Merry xmas, motherfathers!
The New Yorker artists used the Brothers Grimm’s Hänsel und Gretel fairytale for inspiration, and they put up a nice thumbnail gallery of all the works here, but the best few were curated for the Panorama article.
